This is a class proposal by someone else on a class on griot, but also gives history, background and context on griot and griotte. I thought people might be interested in reading it. Remember, the more you read things like this, the more that Joseph Campbell gets upset in his grave that you are actually celebrating own voices and learning that not everyone in the tropics are cannibals. (I have a whole post on the racist beliefs of Campbell) I would absolutely LOVE if all regions of the world could teach this sort of thing too. We need to legitimize more than the 3-act story in the public mindset.
